Data Entry

Based upon the criteria for which the Health IT Module is certifying (e.g. transition of care, common clinical data set summary record, care plan), a user enters the appropriate clinical information for the certifying criteria into the Health IT Module.

C-CDA Creation

Using the Health IT Module, the user creates a data file formatted in accordance with the standard specified in § 170.205(a)(4) HL7 Implementation Guide for CDA® Release 2: Consolidated CDA Templates for Clinical Notes, DSTU Release 2.1, and includes the appropriate document-templates and content for the certifying criteria being tested in order to match a gold-standard, reference data file for each applicable C-CDA document template.

The C-CDA document created in step 2 is submitted to the tester for verification.

Based upon the health IT setting(s) (i.e. ambulatory and/or inpatient), a user repeats steps 1-3 for each of the instruction documents found in ETT: Message Validators for the criteria being certified.

Test Lab Verification

Data Entry

Using the criteria instruction document downloaded in step 1 of the SUT, the tester verifies that the clinical summary information for the criteria entered into the Health IT Module is accurate and without omission using visual inspection.

C-CDA Creation

For each file submitted in step 3 of the SUT, the tester uses the ETT: Message Validators – C-CDA Release 2.1 Validator to upload the submitted C-CDA document through the sender upload selection of the criteria being certified along with the file name, and executes the upload of the submitted file.

For each uploaded file in step 2, the tester uses the Validation Report produced by the ETT: Message Validators to verify the validation report indicates the certifying criteria is conformant to the standard specified in § 170.205(a)(4) and includes the required data elements specified by the standard for the certifying criteria in order to match the gold-standard, reference data file.

As required by the criteria instruction document downloaded in step 1 of the SUT, the tester uses the ONC-supplied certifying criteria instructions and the Message Content Report produced by the ETT: Message Validators in step 2 to verify the additional checks for equivalent text for the content of all section level narrative text.

The verification of the § 170.315(g)(6) Consolidated CDA Creation Performance criteria for a given criterion is performed in-conjunction with the specific criteria. No additional tests need to be executed to certify for § 170.315(g)(6) Consolidated CDA Creation Performance.

It extracts key portions of the rule’s preamble and includes subsequent clarifying interpretations. To access the full context of regulatory intent please consult the 2015 Edition final rule or other included regulatory reference. The CCG is for public use and should not be sold or redistributed.

This certification criterion was adopted at § 170.315(g)(6), and is required for all developers seeking certification to 2015 Edition certification criteria with C-CDA creation capabilities (i.e., § 170.315(b)(1), (b)(2), (b)(4), (b)(6), (b)(9), (e)(1), and (g)(9)). There are no associated required privacy and security criterion for this criterion at § 170.315(g)(6).

Technical Explanations and Clarifications

Applies to entire criterion

Clarifications:

The specific requirements in provisions (g)(6)(i)-(iv) can be demonstrated in tandem.

This certification criterion focuses on the data expressed in the Common Clinical Data Set definition.

If the scope of the certification includes more than one certification criterion with C-CDA creation required, C-CDA creation performance only has to be demonstrated once for each C-CDA document template (e.g., C-CDA creation performance to the CCD template would not have to be demonstrated twice if the Health IT Module presents for certification to both the transitions of care and data export criteria). [see also 80 FR 62674]

In order to mitigate potential interoperability errors and inconsistent implementation of the HL7 Implementation Guide for CDA® Release 2: Consolidated CDA Templates for Clinical Notes, Draft Standard for Trial Use, Release 2.1, ONC assesses, approves, and incorporates corrections as part of required testing and certification to this criterion. [see FAQ #51] Certified health IT adoption and compliance with the following corrections are necessary because they implement updates to vocabularies, update rules for cardinality and conformance statements, and promote proper exchange of C-CDA documents. Consistent with FAQ 51, there is a 90-day delay from the time the CCG has been updated with the ONC-approved corrections to when compliance with the corrections will be required to pass testing (i.e., C-CDA 2.1 Validator). Similarly consistent with FAQ 51, there will be an 18-month delay before a finding of a correction’s absence in certified health IT during surveillance would constitute a non-conformity under the Program.
